    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Rats! Faulty GeForce Card and system down.

Bjoern's really gonna shake his head in disbelief/horror when I mention my PSU is a Corsair ASX 1200I Platinum Certified 1200w Modular....

Thing is....you only ever even know it's there on boot.....then the cooling turns off in disgust and goes to sleep....just another way to build a 'silent' computer.
It'll never get near to being overworked or overloaded....so it ends up being one less thing to worry about ever going 'wrong'...;)

Just to update, I pulled the trigger on a GTX 1070 TI recommended by Scan which was good value and priced (£535) nearer a straight 1070. It's spec is not far off a straight 1080.

Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Ti DUAL 8GB GDDR5 VR Ready Graphics Card, 2432 Core, 1607MHz GPU, 1683MHz Boost

Really unfortunate timing for me to blow up my card just now as the prices have gone way up and supplies run thin due to Bitcoin mining apparently.

Interestingly Scan also said to try increasing the VRAM voltage as that might solve the problem, but I was not sure how to do that and wasn't comfortable that if it was a fix, it would last. Also, didn't want to lose a good excuse to upgrade!
